  • 11/30 Minoritized Languages of the North Atlantic

    The Native American Cultural Program (NACP) and An Cumann Gaelach are delighted to once again host the 'Minoritized Languages of the North Atlantic' Workshop in the ODI Commons in the Student Union.

     

    Date: November 30th

    Time: 5.30- 7pm

     

    This event is intended to introduce participants to the living and historical languages of Southern New England Algonquian and of Gaelic Ireland. In doing so, it celebrates efforts to promote indigenous languages and cultures negatively affected by colonialism and cultural imperialism and highlights efforts by UConn students, faculty, and community partners to decolonize the Anglophone North Atlantic and to teach and promote minoritized languages.

     

    Presentations on each language will be followed by a discussion on minority languages and how they can be protected and promoted.
